For this discussion, respond to the following... An electron falls through a distance d in a uniform electric field of magnitude

E. Thereafter, the direction of the field is reversed (keeping its magnitude the same) and now a proton falls through the same distance. Compare, using quantitative reasoning, the time of fall in each case. Contrast this situation with that of objects falling freely under gravity. You will also need to post a response to at least two of your classmates' posts. Also, make sure that your response(s) are substantial and consist of at least 25 words.

The electron should experience a greater acceleration due to it's significantly smaller mass and should fall through distance "d" in a shorter amount of time.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The electron force can be expressed as F=qE. According to Newton's second law of motion force can be expressed as F=ma. This can be written as a=F/m. Substituting electric force expression for "F" in this equation, we get a=qE/m. This means acceleration is conversely proportional to mass and directly to electric field and charge. This means that proton having significantly larger mass than electron should experience smaller amount of acceleration and would take longer to fall at distance "d".

On the other hand, the electron would experience greater acceleration due to it's significantly smaller mass and would fall faster at distance "d", unlike the situation of proton.

Ivahew [28]
The balanced equation of the reaction is:

O3(g) + NO (g) → O2 (g) + NO2 (g)

Then the ratios of reaction is 1 mol O3 : 1 mol NO : 1 mol O2 : 1 mol NO2

If you have initially 0.05 M of O3 and 0.02 M of NO, the reaction will end when all the NO is consumed.

The by the stoichiometry 0.02 mol of O3 will be consumed in 8 seconds.

And the rate of reaction is change in concetration divided by the time.

The change in concentration in O3 is 0.02 M

Then, the rate respect O3 is 0.02 M / 8 seconds = 0.0025 M/s

salantis [7]
1. The hypothesis for this is experiment is that the 50:50 of methanol-water mixture will not turn to solid when the temperature reaches to -40°C.

2. The procedure for this is measuring equal volumes of water and methanol using the graduated cylinder. You can measure 100 mL of water and 100 mL of methanol using the graduated cylinder. Then, mix them in the beaker. Next, measure 200 mL of water, and another 200 mL of methanol. Don't mix them. Also, make a 60:40 mixture by measuring 120 mL of water and 80 mL of methanol, then mix them together. Place them all in the refrigerator at the same time. Record the time when they would freeze to solid.

3. The controls for this experiment are the 200 mL water alone, and the 200 mL methanol alone.

4. The independent variable in here is the time, while the dependent variable is the temperature of the mixtures.

5. If the hypothesis turns out to be true, then all the mixtures prepared should freeze and become solid after a certain period of time, with the exception of the 50:50 mixture. The 50:50 mixture should still remain as a liquid even when left overnight.

Margaret [11]
The answer is C due to the rain making contact with the iron it creates moisture which cause the iron to begin oxidizing which causes the iron to rust which is a chemical reaction then the blade which was once malleable because it was heat becomes harden and rust is created as I said before the physical aspect of the iron chances due to rust developing on it it's no longer has the luster it once had
